Winter Holiday Business Class Sale: 70% Off



In case you missed the flurry of fantastic Business Class fares to multiple European destinations that showed up several weeks ago, you're in luck!

KLM just announced a winter holiday sale with fares to Barcelona as low as $1,803, and $2,175 to Copenhagen from New York. This is a great deal from the East Coast, but unfortunately fares from the West Cost jump up above $3,000.

The time period for travel coincides with both the Thanksgiving and Christmas/New Year's holidays:
  • Thanksgiving: travel between November 22, 2014 through November 28, 2014 (28 day advance purchase, 3-10 day stay permitted)
  • Christmas/New Year's: travel between December 15, 2014 through January 3, 2015 (60 day advance purchase, 3-10 day stay permitted) 

Here's the full text of the fare rules for reference:

Fares are valid for travel between November 22 through November 28, 2014 and can be purchased 28 days in advance.

Fares are nonrefundable, except for flights to/from the U.S., you may cancel the ticketed reservation without penalty and receive a refund provided that you cancel the reservation within 24-hours after making it.

Fares are subject to class of service availability and may be changed or withdrawn without notice and are based on the most direct routing to each destination. Additional baggage fees may apply.

Interestingly enough when I tried to find availability for the fares above, I noticed even lower fares to Barcelona during the Thanksgiving time period as low as $1,620 New York on American Airlines:


And $2,390 from Los Angeles on a mix of Air France and Delta:


These fares aren't quite as low as the ones available in late-August, but if you don't have holiday plans and are looking for a quick mileage or vacation run, here's your chance!
